You should do a chamber cast if you are not sure of the caliber.

If it has the original barrel it is 8x57 rimless Mauser. It is a common caliber and it's easy to find amo just about anywhere.

Mack,

I believe if I had a gun with a stock like that I would give up huntin'...just stay home all weekend and stare at it!

When I take that one out in the woods the deer come in from miles around just to gawk at it
